12 Oahu Bike Tours to Build a Day Around

1.Kualoa Ranch: Novice E-Bike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 128 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $140Our pick

Ride about six miles through Kualoa and Ka'a'awa valleys on a quiet Yamaha pedal-assist e-bike. Your guide leads four or five stops for scenery, ranch stories, and film locations. The two-hour tour suits confident bike riders age 10 and up, but it still requires steady pedaling.

“The ranch is absolutely beautiful. The novice level mountain bike experience was more or less tourist history and Hollywood tour VS an actual mountain bike experience. You should change mountain bike tour to an e-bike tour since you are riding on gravel and paved roads. You also could have saved a ton of money on purchasing e-bikes at 2k$ vs electric mountain bikes at 10k$. I would be nice to be able to purchase a private mountain bike tour instead of being with a large group. Think it would be rad if you offered 2 separate tours, a historical Hollywood tour and also offer more of a mountain bike tour…”

Ride an easy-to-use e-bike from Waikiki to Diamond Head with guides such as Ryan or Dave, stopping at beaches, historic homes, and local viewpoints. Then hike the crater trail for wide ocean views. Helmets, communication systems, photos, and the Diamond Head ticket are included.

“The Private eBike Diamond Head Ride and Hike was a terrific way to check the box on one of the 'must do' Oahu activities for a first time visitor. Our host and guide Ryan did a wonderful job leading us to the Diamond Head trail with stops in between at viewpoints or local points of interest. He acted as chief photographer for the entire tour so we could have a photo record of day with both of us in the photos rather than just one of us. Ryan even hiked with us all the way to the top of Diamond Head to take photos. On the bike ride on the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 28 reviews · 4 hours · from $199

Ride from Waikiki to Manoa Valley on a modern e-bike, then hike with your guide to Manoa Falls. Ryan leads small groups of up to six, using helmet intercoms so you can hear trail and island stories while riding. The four-hour tour includes water and guide-taken photos.

“The tour was perfect. The bikes are new and in great shape (and we have done a lot of e-bike tours so we can tell you these are the best bikes) and the tour guide Ryan was awesome. He doesn't go too fast or too slow with bikes and reads the skills of the group very well. Also had something we've never seen before which is helminths with an intercom system where we could all talk while riding. That was priceless because he could give information to us while we were on the move. The hike up to the Falls was somewhat rigorous so if you are in shape that's…”

You can replace the batteries each day if you don’t wanna bring a charger or a dolphin as needed. Highly recommend.”

11.Honolulu E-Bike Ride and Diamond Head Hike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · from $189

You’ll ride from Waikiki along the beach and toward Diamond Head, then hike the crater with an English-speaking guide such as Ryan or Dave. The 3.5-hour tour is limited to six people and includes an e-bike, helmet, water, photos, and hike arrangements. Shaved ice is optional.

“We had a really great time touring the area of Diamond Head with Dave, and then hiking up the crater. It took me a few awkward moments to learn how to ride the E bike, which is quite heavy. But I quickly got the hang of it and it was fine after that. The hike itself is quite strenuous. We are fit people, and it was challenging for me. I would not recommend for people who are out of shape or for families with very young children. The views from the top are spectacular and worth the hike up. Highly recommend!”

12.Manoa Falls eBike to Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 4 hours · from $169

Ride from Waikiki toward Manoa Valley on a communication-equipped e-bike, then hike through rainforest to Manoa Falls with a guide. Kelly has led this route with thoughtful pacing, water, snacks, and photo help. The four-hour trip includes food, park entry, and a small group of up to six.

“The tour was great! The tour guide (Kelly) was very informative and the falls are beautiful (bug spray highly recommended). However the cafe we stopped at was not very nice, Kelly did say it was not his normal go to cafe but the one he uses was close due to it being low season. I would definitely book this tour again.”
